Short attention span

I thought of something to blog about just before, only maybe 5 minutes ago? I remember that it didn't seem like a very interesting topic but I decided that I'd make it funny when I finally got fingers to keyboard. Unfortunately I opened up the blog page and became distracted with pointless web surfing, which caused me to forget about what I wanted to blog about. It's kind of annoying but I can't be bothered to dwell on it.
This did however lead me to a new topic of discussion to punch out in a short, snappy and mildly entertaining blog post - how my attention span (and yours too) is quickly diminishing because of the bloody internet!
I can't read a flipping book, I am unimpressed when I see that a YouTube clip is longer than 30 seconds and I will only read a long news story if it's about something sick and twisted, otherwise it's just a brisk browse to make sure I can say "Ohh I know!" when people want to have topical conversations.
They say this lack in attention span is to do with us having endless options of content at our fingertips and social spaces like Twitter requiring us to write something awesome in 140 characters or less.
I'm bored of this post, see ya.
